Spring, really, I mean it this time!

Seriously, it is finally starting to be spring around here. The snow is gone, except for a few piles in parking lots and really shady spots. There is still the chance we will have another storm, but the days of snow everywhere are over for another year. There are birds all over the place - geese flying north, starlings, cardinals, finches, jays, sparrows, robins, doves... And best of all, the bulbs are starting to poke up out of the ground. The crocus and snow drops are actually flowering now. The sun is out today, and we have windows open. When we went for our weekly walk to the library, I didn't need a hat, or gloves, or even a scarf. Hurrah!
